Just chiming in with some info on the server as of the moment, so everyone has some idea of where we're currently at. In the future, all server update posts will be labeled "STL Server Update [date]," just fyi.
The server is currently running in "Creative Mode" until I get some things sorted out. This means that there are unlimited resources available to you to build with, you won't take damage (you can still fall through the world though... just ask Chris... don't dig through bedrock), and there are no mobs currently spawning.
While you play, you may notice it switching from nighttime to daytime suddenly. I just prefer to build in the daytime, as it's easier to see, so I use admin commands to switch time/weather as needed.
Feel free to abuse Creative Mode to your hearts desire, as it won't be available forever! Just try not to do anything extreme like give yourselves crazy stacks of resources to use later or crap like that. That's a bit much.
- One note about Creative Mode: You can not collect resources in this mode, so mining ore/killing animals/harvesting crops will yield no drops. Please try not to waste resources by doing this. Save it for Survival Mode.
I will give everyone ample heads-up before making the swap to Survival Mode so that you can make sure to have your bases well lit to protect against unwanted mob spawn.
At the moment, I am not running the server during the night, as none of us currently white-listed stay up into the wee hours of the morning, but I do turn the server on before I go to work so that it may be accessed during the day. Please feel free to take advantage of this!
That's about it for the technical side of things.
Stay tuned for the first update of STL Today! where I talk about the cool stuff happening in our server!
Have fun guys!
